What else can I help you with?
The hypothesis that the evolution of different species occur at a slow constant rate is called?
Gradualism.
How are evolution and reprodution related?
the rate of reproduction controls the speed of evolution because slight changes occur in every new generation.
Does evolution occur faster in an organism that reproduces sexually or asexually?
Depends entirely on the rate of reproduction.
What is the rate of evolution?
The rate of evolution can vary greatly depending on factors such as population size, mutation rate, natural selection pressure, and environmental changes. In some cases, evolution can occur rapidly, leading to significant changes in a short period of time, while in other cases, it can be slow and gradual over millions of years.
How do independent assortment crossing over and random fertilization affect the rate of evolution?
Independent assortment, crossing over, and random fertilization increase genetic variation in offspring, which provides the raw material for evolution to occur at a faster rate. These processes increase the likelihood of new combinations of alleles, leading to a greater diversity of traits within a population. This increased genetic diversity can drive natural selection and adaptation, ultimately contributing to the rate of evolution in a population.
What effect does generation time have on evolution?
A long generation time makes for a slow evolution rate, and a short generation time makes for a fast evolution rate.
In order for evolution to occur in a population individuals with a trait that is naturally selected for must?
Individuals with the beneficial trait must survive and reproduce at a higher rate than those without the trait. This differential reproductive success leads to an increase in the frequency of the advantageous trait in the population over time, allowing for evolution to occur.
Does evolution occur in individuals or in population?
Evolution occurs in population not in an individual.
Did evolution occur in the permian period?
Yes. Evolution ocurred in all geologic periods.
Why did evolution not occur in down syndrome?
Down Syndrome is a the addition of an extra chromosome and not really related to evolution. It is more of a genetic mutation that causes this event to occur.
What are some draw backs of selective breeding?
You do not allow evolution to occur, for you are evolution in selective breeding.
How is variation related to evolution?
The more variation there is in a group of specimens, the more evolution can occur between them.
